Ever feel like you're pedaling as hard as you can in your business, but the competition keeps blowing past you? The solution - draft off someone who's cracked the code.

In today’s new episode, Mike goes for a wild ride with Aaron Marcum, a successful serial entrepreneur and recent student of positive psychology at UPenn. Aaron shares brilliant strategies he's used to "breakaway" from the pack through smart talent acquisition, premium pricing, systemization, and living with an "exit mindset."

His cycling metaphors for teamwork, leadership, and personal growth are so visceral, you'll feel the wind in your face. They discuss how Aaron once biked 200 miles in a single day across mountain ranges by "drafting" behind his wife to conserve energy for the final push.

But the real magic happens when Aaron walks through the five "breakaway secrets" he teaches ambitious entrepreneurs to achieve sustainable growth and personal freedom:

1. Getting your mindset right
2. Keeping and retaining a culture of top talent
3. Accelerating with the right strategies
4. Scaling through systems and smart hiring
5. Achieving the "freedom" you started your business for

Aaron's had multiple successful exits, including selling his last business for a life-changing amount of money. Yet his former partners still respect him immensely because he left the company in capable hands and poised for even more growth.

That's the power of doing it right - building an exitable business you can walk away from (even for 7 weeks at a time!) while it continues thriving under leaders you developed.

You'll also hear about Aaron's new book "Entre Thrive" and his latest reinvention with the Breakaway Accelerator program for entrepreneurs wanting that same level of freedom and exit potential.

Whether you're just starting to build your dream or ready to sell, this episode is a master class in the psychology and systems needed for breakaway success.

Aaron's vivid analogies and willingness to get vulnerable about his personal journey make this a truly inspiring listen. You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on growth, freedom, and living "the good life.”

Hit play and get ready to draft off one of the best.

This week on the Podcast, Dan and Mike dove into the wild world of politics and what it can teach entrepreneurs about getting loyal "voters" - aka customers!

You're not going to believe some of Dan's insights. Like why he says politics is pure entrepreneurship... the slim margins that tip elections and how those apply to sales... and the major difference between how liberals and conservatives see the world.

And you'll hear the fascinating story of Mike's friends, Kurt and Kristen who worked on multiple presidential campaigns and raised over $500 million... and how they're channeling that political sorcery into a new business helping entrepreneurs grow!

Now before you tune out because you “hate politics” - hear them out. What they realized is that political campaigns operate VERY similarly to a business startup.

They have to capture attention, mobilize action, and drive "transactions" (in their case - votes and donations) with very limited resources in a short timeframe. Many of the strategies and tactics can be applied to grow YOUR business.

A few highlights from the episode include:

• Why Dan believes political campaigns are purely entrepreneurial
• How the Trump campaign leveraged technology and metrics in ways other candidates didn’t
• The key mindset shifts Dan noted after advising a team that has helped elect a President, 14 Senators, 15 Governors and 88 Congressional members
• How political psychographics can help you understand and activate your perfect customers
• Why there is MORE money available in politics than business (and how to access it for your company)
• And more surprises!

Beyond the practical lessons, it gave Mike a whole new appreciation for the political process itself. Love it or hate it, the “game” of politics taps into raw human psychology and emotion.

So tune into this meaty episode if you want a crash course on political psychology from one of the best strategic minds on the planet!

• (06:55) Elections, ballots, and campaigns simplify political decisions.

Mike has BIG news about today’s episode of Capability Amplifier.

He sat down with two of the most fascinating and brilliant folks he has come across in a long time — Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt. They are THE masterminds behind getting presidents, governors, senators elected through clever marketing and messaging.

We're talking half a BILLION dollars raised and dozens of high-profile politicians helped into office.

But here's the crazy part — they took all their political marketing mojo and created a system to help NON-political businesses reinvent themselves faster and find "hidden money" just waiting to be snagged.

We're talking about uncovering secret revenue streams, optimizing your messaging to create buzz and engagement, even spinning off new products and services from within your existing business.

Their system is pure gold and they break it all down in this episode. The stories of sleeping in their car while selling fireworks, expanding to a massive tent operation in Philadelphia (nearly getting arrested!), and exploding onto the political scene are epic.

You've got to hear Kurt's hilarious story of splitting his pants wide open right in front of President Bush! It's cringe-worthy and hilarious.

And their passion for helping American small businesses reinvent themselves comes through loud and clear. Mike was pumped up and ready to take on the world by the end!

Get ready for an epic convo on this week's Capability Amplifier podcast episode. Dan and Mike go deep on Dan's brilliant framework called the "Great Meltdown."

Dan argues that we are entering an era of slowing progress. The factors that fueled rapid growth over the past few decades - cheap money, abundant energy, plentiful labor, and low transportation costs — are evaporating.

He calls this the "meltdown" or MELT (and it’s a brand new book he’s working on).

This has huge implications for business and society. How do you thrive when the tailwinds become headwinds?

The basic idea is that Dan has identified 4 key factors that drive the speed of progress and change in business and society — Money, Energy, Labor and Transportation (MELT). And he reveals how tracking these 4 elements gives you an incredible predictive lens on where the biggest opportunities will be over the next 10-25 years.

Mike's biggest takeaway: entrepreneurs who can escape the grip of MELT will have massive advantages. Your business needs to drastically cut its dependence on money, energy, labor and transportation.

Easier said than done, right? Don't worry, they tell you how you can use the MELT framework to spot gaps in the market, craft game-changing business models, and build wealth even in turbulent times.

You'll love their spicy side conversation on today's bankrupt narratives like disruption and wokeness. Let's just say Dan and Mike have strong opinions!

Whether you're a founder, investor, or executive, this episode will change how you think about the future. The Great Meltdown is upon us, people. Time to get strategic!

Key Takeaways

• (02:24) Dan explains his “M.E.L.T.” framework for understanding how things are moving faster or slowing down.
• (12:15) What is power anyway?
• (21:45) The future of the US economy and Ai’s potential impact.

Mike has a real treat for you this week — a fascinating interview with Dr. Lise Janelle on the podcast.

Dr. Lise blew Mike's mind wide open with her incredible technique called the “Heart Freedom Method.” It's a transformative process that helps you unlock deep subconscious stories and limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from living your best life.

Mike went through the process, too, and uncovered a subconscious fear he didn't realize had been sabotaging his ability to build high-performance teams. Who knew!

Dr. Lise has used this method with over 120,000 people, including celebs, entrepreneurs and Olympic athletes looking to break through to the next level. Her track record is seriously impressive.

Mike sat down with the dynamic mother-daughter duo of Dana Weinberger and Ariel Cipoletta. They have an amazing story of going from constant conflict to true harmony using the science-based tools they’ve developed.

Dana was a high-powered entrepreneur who unintentionally became disconnected from her kids. No matter how hard she tried, there was always yelling and frustration.

Meanwhile, her daughter Ariel was struggling in school and life. They just didn't see eye-to-eye.

But after some wake-up calls and soul-searching, Dana committed to transforming not just her parenting but her whole life. And she brought her analytical, quick-start mindset to the challenge.

The result was a complete family turnaround. Ariel blossomed into a star student and caring therapist. Their son went from flunking out to graduating law school with honors. And Dana's business reached new heights with her newly reclaimed focus.

Now Dana and Ariel want to shortcut the pain for other families. In the conversation, they break down their step-by-step Family Harmony system.

You'll learn:

• Their 7-step Family Harmony system and how it works
• Tips and strategies any parent can use right away

• How to create a shared vision and roadmap
• Tips to maintain positive momentum and celebrate wins

Even if your family relationships are good, this podcast will give you inspiration and tangible tips to strengthen your bonds.

And here's a little secret - when you boost family harmony, your business tends to flourish too. You reclaim mental clarity, energy and motivation.

So give this episode a listen with your spouse or teen. Let it spark a productive discussion. This simple act could change everything.

But Nobody's Talking About!

The latest episode of Capability Amplifier just dropped and it's a doozy. (If you have kids, grandkids, nieces or nephews… you really need to check this one out.)

In this jam-packed episode, Dan and Mike dove deep into discussions about the future of education and how learning really happens.

As two entrepreneurs who forged their own paths outside the traditional education system, they had a fascinating conversation about what's broken in education today and how learning can be improved for the next generation.

A few highlights:

• Dan and Mike questioned whether formal education systems are even necessary anymore in the age of the internet and Ai. Knowledge is everywhere now - do we really need schools and universities?
• Dan shared his perspective that rigid educational systems stifle creativity. True learning happens through experience and creation, not memorizing facts in classrooms.
• Mike described his vision for the future - a world where every child can launch a business by age 12-14, with the help of technology like Ai. Way better than saddling them with student debt!
• They explored the idea that the greatest "educational system" is freeing yourself from other people's systems and forging your own path.

They covered a ton more ground - including the power of apprenticeship, the military origins of many Fortune 500 CEOs and the entrepreneurial energy pulsing through places like MIT.

This was one of their most exciting and enlightening sessions yet. Dan is a master provocateur and always gets Mike's neurons firing!

Have a listen and let's hear your key takeaways. What did you find most interesting or inspiring? What are your ideas for improving education?

Key Takeaways

Are you ready for Part Two of “Dogs, Sex and Ai… OH MY!?”

There was such an incredible response to last week's Part One episode… you’re going to LOVE the conclusion.

As you know, Dan is the founder of Strategic Coach and has coached over 100,000 entrepreneurs. He's one of the wisest, most forward-thinking people Mike knows.

In today’s episode, Dan and Mike go deep on whether businesses need a "Chief Ai Officer" and how entrepreneurs can harness Ai as their ultimate Capability Amplifier.

Dan completely flipped Mike's thinking and showed him how he was stuck in corporate group thinking. His perspective is SO refreshing and empowering!

He explained why every individual in a company needs Ai superpowers, not just some new C-suite exec. Ai can free us to operate in our unique abilities and 10X our revenue without more work.

It's some of Dan's most provocative thinking yet. It blew Mike's mind.

Dan even riffed an awesome pitch for Mike's new Ai training program at the end. The man's a natural marketer!

This episode will open your mind and get you FIRED UP to amplify your capabilities with Ai. We're not giving it all away — just listen for yourself.

Key Takeaways

• (01:06) According to Peter Diamandis “every business in the world needs a chief Ai officer…” but do they? Dan disagrees
• (15:24) Ai is a huge multiplier but just a tool. It doesn’t deserve sainthood
• (22:31) Who attracts the best talent in the world?
• (28:57) Corporations are where big ideas go when they’ve run out of energy
• (38:50) Dan gives me a killer pitch

Has Mike got an insider scoop for you today!

He recently got back from a great adventure in Chicago. On top of a couple of days of Strategic Coach with Dan, they went to see the new Lloyd Price musical, “Personality”.

Their good friend, Jeffrey Madoff, has been working on it for the last 6 years and they've been able to be privy to the entire creative process, so it was pretty cool for them to finally see it live on stage.

In case you didn’t know, “Personality” is a musical about the life of pioneering 1950's rock n’ roll star Lloyd Price, written by documentary filmmaker, Jeff Madoff. Lloyd Price was one of the very first rock stars, with huge hits like “Personality” and “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” – you’ll definitely recognize his music when you hear it.

Dan tells the story of having lunch with Jeffrey in New York 6 years ago. After hearing all about the musical, he and his wife, Babs, knew right then and there they wanted to be a part of it and invested immediately.

He’s been watching the musical progress from an early reading of the script to secret backers’ workshops in NYC. He said from the very first workshop it was clear this was going to be an iconic, timeless musical that would run for decades.

Now that Mike has seen the Chicago production himself, he couldn’t agree more — the music, the costumes, the set design, the performers...everything is absolute perfection. It’s one of the tightest, most spectacular live performances Mike has ever seen.

Beyond the incredible production, Dan and Mike also geek out about the fascinating history of the evolution of the entertainment industry. Like how classic Hollywood studios tightly controlled their stars’ images, compared to today’s overexposure on social media. Today’s entertainers have way more independence, but also greater pressure to cultivate their personal brand 24/7.

They also touch on how everyone in Hollywood is fearful about what's going to happen with Ai. It's Mike's opinion that in the entertainment industry, having strikes and expecting the world to stay the same, is putting a nail in the coffin of a lot of Hollywood.

Don’t misunderstand, Mike has a tremendous amount of respect for entertainers and the creative process. It is a hard business, but the world is changing.

All this to say - if you’re anywhere near Chicago, you absolutely MUST get tickets to “Personality” immediately! The cast, crew, and creative team have poured their souls into this musical for 6 long years, and the love shows in every song, every dance number, every scene.

Dan and Mike truly believe this will be a Broadway smash for decades to come.

Key Takeaways

• (00:09) We are in a Golden Era of what’s possible in the world of entertainment
• (04:13) Funding the musical
• (08:05) The tightness of the production
• (18:52) The shifting entertainment landscape
• (22:26) The golden age of movie stars
• (32:11) Mike’s predictions for the future of Hollywood
